Snip of the March 5, 1892 Chicago Daily News

Most obituaries include the name of the cemetery in which the recently departed will be buried.

Not always though. And that can be frustrating for genealogists searching for an ancestor’s final resting place.

I found a dozen such obituaries recently. I found cemeteries for a few on FamilySearch and added those to Find A Grave. Maybe posting the remaining names here will help us lay the deceased to rest.
